Answer 2

Answer:

D. Neither the stars nor the moon provides us enough light to see this map.

Explanation:

When you join two subjects with the correlative conjunction neither ... nor, use a singular verb if the noun closest to the verb is singular. The moon is a singular noun, so the the verb should be singular too (provides).

Sentence D uses a verb that agrees with its compound subject.

A, B, and C contain faulty subject-verb agreement.
